Smart gridsThese systems collect data in real time to help customers monitor and optimize their energy usage. Smart grids can also help identify issues with the power supply.
RoboticsRobots are used to perform dangerous tasks, such as cutting underground power cables.
Renewable energySolar, wind, and hydroelectric power are more efficient and cost-effective than ever before.
Virtual and augmented realityThese technologies are being used in electrical engineering training.
DronesDrones with cameras, infrared, and other sensors can be used to investigate potentially dangerous conditions without putting electrical engineers in danger.
Public charging infrastructureAs more people adopt electric vehicles, electrical contractors are installing EV charging stations.
Wireless power transferWireless charging is becoming more common for smart devices, such as smartphones, laptops, and earphones. It may also become the standard for electric cars.
GrapheneGraphene supercapacitors can store energy and have larger capacitance values than conventional capacitors.
